Based on Ustream’s robust and scalable video platform, Ustream Align is designed to provide organizations with the ability to improve employee engagement and strategic alignment with secure video streaming. We’ve added 2 new features to enhance the value and effectiveness of your internal communications using Ustream Align:

Ustream Align SSO helps you ensure that the information you share in your live and video-on-demand (VOD) broadcasts to your internal audiences remains secure. By incorporating SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) support into Ustream Align, we’ve made it possible for you to integrate with major corporate directory systems leveraging SAML-based identity providers such as OneLogin, Ping Identity, and Okta. Our SAML-based SSO solution also works with Active Directory and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

Ustream Align SSO support also simplifies access for your users, helping them save time, reduce errors, and increase productivity.

When is SSO support for Ustream Align available? RIGHT NOW!

SSO support for registered Ustream Align customers with Enterprise plans is available now. Please note that you must be a Ustream Align Enterprise customer to access SSO support. To learn more about Ustream Align support for Single-Sign On or to get assistance in setting up SSO support, please visit our Ustream Align SAML Documentation Pages or contact our Customer Success team.

The new Q&A function enables viewers of a live streaming video broadcast on your Ustream Align channels to ask text questions of the presenter or moderators. Presenters and moderators can then answer these questions during the session via text response within the Q&A panel or respond verbally. Both presenters and viewers can see the questions in the dedicated Q&A module displayed to the right of the Video Stream window. Anyone on the session can filter the questions displayed in the Q&A module using 4 criteria:

Display all questions asked by anyone during the session

Display questions that only they have asked

Display all unanswered questions

Display all answered questions.

In addition, moderators can delete questions from the Q&A panel. There is no limit to the number of questions that viewers can enter.

When will the Ustream Align Q&A feature be available? RIGHT NOW!

The new Q&A feature is available now to all existing and future Ustream Align Enterprise customers as well as Ustream Align Trial users. Please note that you must be a Ustream Align Enterprise or Trial customer to access the new Q&A feature.
